Last update for today:
Stayed around the campsite today because I was told yesterday my tire could be delivered to the Car Care Center any time between 1030am and 1pm. So after grocery shopping and lunch we hung close by. At 130pm with no call, I did a checkin and truck was on its way but late. At 217pm the call came in, "We got it, come on over".
They got it all swapped over and everything tucked away in 30 minutes. Was out of there at 310pm. Shout out to Patrick from Dothan, AL in the Car Care Center for his assistance in this matter both days.
Back at the campsite, we had put out a stuffed Mickey and Minnie that my parents had given me recently. They make a great center piece on the table most visible from the sidewalk and I heard a family tonight comment on them from the horse carriage ride as it went by.
After getting back from the Car Care Center, it was such a beautiful day all I wanted to do was sit outside with DW. We had some time before starting dinner so it was time to pull out the puzzle and start my most relaxing activity while camping.
If you are familiar with my Gulf State Park trip reports, you know I like to sit outside in good weather and assemble 500-1,000 piece puzzles. It occupies my mind, if you will. This puzzle was one of the first of mine to work which was given to us by a DIS friend. It was time to assemble it again.
This is the puzzle we are doing: a 750-piece 18x24 WDW one.
Per tradition, my first step is to separate edge pieces from non-edge, assemble the edges, then piece together any easy obvious big items. Done, done, and done.
Lastly, for yucks this afternoon I ran the wifi (network) speed test on my plain ol' AT&T service on cellular 4G data. Would you believe it is approximately 4X faster than the camper wifi download?
But camper wifi is free so that's okay, right?
Wait, you mean the cost is built into my site rate?
Since it's free, it's not worth what I'm paying for it?
Not streaming anything, just posting on the DIS, checking the 'net, and reading email.
At least I have a big honkin' data plan with hot spot feature if need be.
Tomorrow will hopefully include another transportation journey not attempted by us in the past. But will include familiar hot spots.

PS - when the kids show up this weekend I probably will not be able to post as much/as often since I am the chief cook, bottle washer, and social planner. But I will do my best because I know pix and a brief storyline is what makes the DIS Camping Board go 'round.
PPS - Horse "Prince" and his humans have been by a few times tonight thus far but not working as hard as last night.
